MY WIFE SAYS

"A contemporary classic, Stanley H. Barkan is a great and authentic voice of our time, an architect of reality in modern poetry, and the most pertinent, impressive, and meaningful wizard of our time. No better poet is writing in America today, one who touches a great range of thought so gently and effortlessly."

IMMORTALITY

(A footnote after Donald Lev)

I jumped off

The Brooklyn Bridge.

Twice.

But I failed.

I didn’t die.

The Guinness Book of World Records

Called me up,

Said I should try again:

If I lived,

I’d set a record.

So I jumped a third time

And succeeded.

At last
